Reddit reviews Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Smoothing Shampoo 16 oz.

Well I definitely changed EVERYTHING about my routine this time because both times previously I never even got to the big chop stage. I got a bit of new growth and didn't like it/found it hard to manage transitioning hair so I just gave up....twice lol. Didn't have a routine then either really. This time I've done research and stuck it out and I'm very proud of my natural hair now that I'm out of transition.

Hair banding looks like something I'll do. I don't really want to "style" it per se. I'm a big fan of leaving my curls and style how it is after washing as much as possible. But that's just for right now, as it's still short.

So you say I should water rinse only everyday, cowash every 3 days and continue washing once a week? That makes sense. I did kind of feel like I shouldn't cowash everyday but I wasn't sure lol. I think I did the LOC method yesterday by combining all of my products. I put the leave in after my shower, combing with a wide tooth comb. Then I put the coconut oil and the pudding after wards. My hair turned out better than it usually does. It was more defined and felt better too. But I'm going to do it for a while to see if it's really better. I guess what I was doing before would be considered LCO? What exactly are the different ways?

The leave in I use was bought from Dollar Tree lol, I know what you might be thinking and I was skeptical too but I love anything Argan oil and decided to try since it was only $1. It smelled good and made my hair feel better so I'm happy with it . I'm actually not sure how to link? I put the links here but not sure if I did it right. My leave in is: http://www.amazon.com/Lusti-Naturals-Argan-Leave-Conditioner/dp/B0090SFBR0

I use pure coconut oil that melts when heated and only has one ingredient which is that lol and my pudding is this : http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlproducts/view/7180/beautiful-textures-curl-control-defining-pudding-styling-products-15-oz

I read online that coconut oil might not be good for my hair but that was ONE website whereas everyone else is saying coconut oil is a must for high porosity hair. Any other oils good for my type?

I already know my shampoo and conditioner are horrible lol Im on the lookout for others, but shampoo is: http://www.amazon.com/Queen-Helene-Butter-Smoothing-Shampoo/dp/B001STB0MO

I only use a wide toothed comb, no brushes. In terms of detangling, I try to finger detangle but sometimes I get frustrated because my hair is thick and then I use the wide toothed comb to comb it from ends to roots.

When I'm tired at night, sad to say......I fall asleep in my wig cap most of the time :( horrible, I know but usually sleep sneaks up on me and I'm out like a light sometimes before I can even wash my makeup off of my face. BUT I have a satin scarf that I should be using LOL. I definitely notice the difference when I use the scarf.

Does that Flexi seed hair gel provide good hold? I'm liking the Shea butter creme recipe!! Can that be used to DC??
